{Regenerating}

These have lifespan of 8 to 15 years, depending on conditions.So, they regenerate themselves -- birthing little blue agavesevery year. There were a lot of new ones popping through theearth, making their way to the sunlight. David dug them outover the weekend and began replanting them.

Beautiful, yet I am feeling so sad not to see it in person. I am aching for AZ in the worst way. I haven't even had a chance to start looking at airfare, but I think I am going to when I can. I miss my family and friends so much and just everything AZ in general

Olivia -- thanks for the heads up! I didn't catch the news tonight but got online and saw the story you were talking about. And ma'am, you have a good eye. That was us! I interned there last year. They wanted to do a story about taxes where they prepared one persons taxes three ways -- CPA, H&R Block and Turbo Tax. Since it required letting other people see personal info and a lot of time, there weren't people lining up to volunteer. So, I did it. It was a chance for me to get and stay really involved with an entire story and get my taxes done for free. It was actually a really fun experience. Anyway, I guess they just used some of that old b-roll this year!

well, i just have to say all my life growing up in AZ ive never paid much attention to those spiky little plants. I sure never would have thought about taking pictures of one. But YOU always think about that stuff! And you make it look like soooo much more than just something most people over look everyday. I love your attention to detail! Love your plants! Makes me want to go dig around in the dirt! (when it UNFREEZES!!!)

Welcome to Link Adventure

I'm an AZ transplant, and I love it here! I'm a freelance journalist and producer. I shoot, write, edit, field produce, coordinate, and do a little family photography. I've felt compelled to document since I can remember. This is my way to share from our corner of the world with friends and family scattered about the country. Hopefully you'll find something here that tickles your fancy. Thanks for stopping by today. -Samara
